Are you ready for real time Google Glasses? They will go on sale to the public at the end of this year. They will be Android-based and navigation will be intuitive with a quick head joggle and available with both 3G and 4G data connections. A Google spokesman declined to comment on this secret project. I did this piece for the good folks at the New York Times and for the Business Section. Art Direction: James Best Thank you, James!

I've been reading about these goggles for a while now. Hopefully they won't turn pedestrians into even more zombie-like text addicts!
Beautiful piece Dick, dig the simplicity of the sketches too.

Thank you, Adam. I am more worried about a sea of pedestrians bobbing, nodding and joggling their heads around!

Interesting drawing- different, visceral ('course all Downs' are...)
Richard Downs February 23, 2012
Thank you, Robert. Yes, it is different because I am making a huge effort to limit my digital illustration output and move back to painting by hand which I absolutely love doing. Thanks for noticing!

Love the unprocessed quality of this--great piece Dick.
Richard Downs February 23, 2012
Thank you, Greg. I appreciate hearing that, it is a bit rough around the edges!

That's a rich fun drawing. Nicely done, and good on you.
